Squirmin' for Yermin

Plus he is still walking at a 13% rate which is good to see.

awesome

shocker lol

I imagine if he hits 80 innings this year, we will see him sometime next summer in Chicago.

For sure

This is also with the presumed graduation of Thorpe.

Same. I love draft time for the influx of talent. If we theoreticaly drafted a Konnor Griffin or Rainer, would they slot in at #3/4 on our list behind Schultz and Montgomery?

This makes sense

For those smarter than me.. In regard to the 2025 DRAFT.. I know the earliest we will pick is 10th (maybe 11th depending on A's)... How does the pool money work in this situation? Assuming we have the worst record, do we still get the #1 pick draft money pool or is it the 10th pick money pool?? My understanding is that post round 1, we would have the first pick in each round. But is our pool gunna be tied to the 10th pick in the first? @Y2Jimmy0

I was just looking yesterday and most of the top 100 (MLB.com) starting pitchers were having really down years.. Schultz stood above the rest

Both high school picks last year. Wonder where they ranked.

yucky

I think that's far too much from BAL. But would absolutely do BAL and CLE here. I still would like a better headliner for Robert and don't love Crawford for his lack of power and terrible bb/K rate. I'd pass on this PHI deal.

This is what I expect as well.

No. I want quality, not quantity.

Damn. I love Smith but if we are focusing on hitting at 5 regardless, this would be the best outcome.

Is there a chance Condon falls?

They couldn't do it

yup. While Beni is completely worthless... 15 million isn't some albatross of a contract that should stop you from doing anything over the next 3 years.

You are nuts.

Yeah, but not a completely fair comp.. The Rangers had Creed on their side.

Yeah the pirates just couldnt get a robert deal done.

That feels about right. I'd try to swap Parada and Vasil for one guy higher though and make it a 2-1.

To be fair.. Didn't they have 2 number 1 picks and then a number 2 as well? Along with all their free-bie picks?

You are a joke.
